ASTM A276 Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes

ASTM A276 Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes

ASTM A276 Standard specifification covers hot-fifinished or cold-fifinished bars except bars for reforging (Note 1). It includes rounds, squares, and hexagons, and hot-rolled or extruded shapes, such as angles, tees, and channels in the more commonly used types of stainless steels. The free-machining types (Note 2) for general corrosion resistance and high-temperature service are covered in a separate specifification. 

NOTE 1—For bars for reforging, see Specifification A 314. 

NOTE 2—For free-machining stainless bars designed especially for optimum machinability, see Specifification A 582/A 582M. NOTE 3—There are standards covering high nickel, chromium, austenitic corrosion, and heat resisting alloy materials. These standards are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee B02.07 and may be found in Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol. 02.04. 

The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
